Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Indy Illini Fan]

Literally has 6 rebounds.

That doesn’t mean he’s boxing out …

And sure he does sometimes … It’s about consistency …

 

[CentralILLini]

Jake 12 points. Stud.

 

[DICKnaggie]

So incredibly dumb.

Big Z really having a rough one today. 2nd technical. He's ejected, right?

 

[foby]

Z foul overshadows the fact Mirk running point.

 

[Battle89]

No two flagrants mean you're ejected.

Any carryover punishment to the next game?

My neighbor went to Cal. Pre-season, he said losing AS wasn't that big a deal.

Lol...I guess if you are a .500 team with him it is no great loss!! But he is an elite talent and becoming a better defender which makes this team considerably better if he can play consistently at both ends every night. However, it seems that teams can shut down his drive game when they focus on it....in which case he needs to look for open guys at the arc.

 

[Combo]

It's wild how he just seems about 1/3 slower this year.

Is he fully healthy yet? Coming into the season, a lot of people thought he'd be our best player.

Big Z is channelling his inner Bill Laimbeer tonight.

I mean Z has to be smarter than that, but that happens mostly because he's a foot taller than the other guy. His arm has to go somewhere when he tries to box out.

And as the announcers would say, "that's awfully cute". Smh, what happened to everyone's man card.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

No two flagrants mean you're ejected.

Believe it’s 3 …

Or one flagrant 2 …

But who knows … I may be wrong …

 

[Clngpl94]

In Zs defense, Maryland IS playing dirty...

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Z will be sitting the rest of the night.

 

[Rusty]

Still in the game, thought he was gone. Didn't realize they must have changed the rule.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Holy crap, Tomi’s vertical …

 

[sacraig]

Has Big Z played yet this half? Are they still punishing for that flagrant?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Davis is turning into what Humrichous was supposed to be for us

Solid take …

 

[hoopsfan47]

Still have not figured out if the coaches quarter zips are powder blue or light gray. Anyone else have a definitive thought?

 

[CleverHandle1]

Stop with the uncalled for three's, now.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

1/8 from 3 by Keaton.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Don't keep chucking even up 21. Run better offense.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Really sloppy play. Time for a teaching timeout.

Stone gray

Touch the paint with the dam ball, now we really are chucking 3s and getting sloppy
